Tezos Community Defies Bear Market with TezCon 2025—Proof That Real Builders Don’t Care About Price Charts
Tezos innovators and die-hard supporters converge as the smart contract platform doubles down on adoption—while TradFi still struggles with ’blockchain, not Bitcoin’ mental gymnastics.
Inside TezCon 2025: The underground movement ignoring macro headwinds
From bakers to builders, 3,000+ attendees are shipping upgrades that actually matter: privacy-focused smart contracts, on-chain governance 3.0, and energy-efficient NFTs that don’t make climate activists rage-tweet. Meanwhile, Wall Street’s ’blockchain task forces’ are still stuck in PowerPoint phase.
The closer: While VC-backed chains chase hyped narratives, Tezos keeps its head down—proving once again that in crypto, the loudest projects rarely have the most code commits.
As summer approaches, TezCon 2025 is gearing up to offer an immersive experience for Tezos enthusiasts in Seattle. This year marks the second annual gathering, following the success of last year’s event at the now-closed Seattle NFT Museum. According to Tezos, the event will take place at Kenyon Hall on June 28, promising a richer lineup and broader reach.
The Origins and Spirit of TezCon
TezCon originated from the TezTones collective, a group of artists involved in art competitions. The event, organized by the community and supported by Tezos Commons, maintains a grassroots feel, distinguishing it from corporate conferences. It provides a platform for artists, collectors, and innovators within the Tezos ecosystem to connect and collaborate.
Event Highlights and Schedule
TezCon 2025 offers a weekend full of activities, beginning with a tour of West Seattle on June 26 and culminating in a laid-back celebration on June 29. The main event on June 28 will feature panels, art displays, and live music at Kenyon Hall. Notably, the event will also be streamed online, allowing wider community participation.
Art, Music, and Panels
The event will showcase digital artworks curated by TEIA, alongside performances from musicians within the Tezos community. The lineup includes acoustic sets, rap, and classical music, providing a diverse range of expressions. Panels will cover topics such as blockchain-based licensing and upcoming Tezos projects, fostering dialogue and collaboration among participants.
Community and Connection
TezCon 2025 emphasizes the power of physical connection, bringing together individuals who have collaborated online but never met in person. It aims to rejuvenate the Tezos art culture, offering a space for inspiration and potential friendships. Whether attending in person or online, TezCon invites all to engage with the vibrant Tezos community.
